Coles On going Pain

[*Sammi!*]

Thanks for all your comments again!

Cole sat on the sofa in his apartment.
He had gone around and around clearing all his stuff, looking for little things that he could place here and there for Phoebe when she eventually came to collect the rest of her things.
He had strategically placed a picture of the two kissing on the elevator door, so she could look at it on the way out. He had placed the eternity ring that he had bought for her on the kitchen surface.
He didn’t want to torture her, he wanted her to look at these things and remember him for his love, and not for his demon ways.
Cole sat and waited. And waited. And waited.
In the end he grew tired and decided to shimmer to the Manor again.
When he arrived, he walked quietly through the Manor so as not to be heard.
“… Maybe we could think of another way?”
“Piper, you have done this once before, hoping he would change. Its not working hunny!” He heard Leo’s reply.
He had a lot of respect for Leo, and normally, having heard something like this, Cole would have blown up in anger, but this time he didn’t. He sighed, as he again realised that he was at peace.
He heard Piper sigh too.
“I’m just going to have to help her through it again then. I’m just, disappointed in Cole, you know?!” Piper told her husband.
Cole shook his head, not wanting to hear the end of the conversation.
He continued to walk through the Manor and came across Paige and Henry with Henry Junior.
“I’m so proud of you” He heard Henry tell Paige.
He watched as Paige leant in and kissed her husband. He did feel some resentment to Paige. He always had, and always would. She had been set against him ever since she discovered he had been a demon.
“I wish I could help Phoebe” Paige told Henry as she picked up her son and placed him in his crib.
Cole watched feeling a sense of sadness that he would never feel this happy with Phoebe and have any children.
“Too little, too late” Cole muttered.
“Theres nothing you can do. Cole wants to be vanquished, and Phoebe wants Coop” Henry told his wife bluntly.
“I know. We all wanted to believe he could do it!” Paige exclaimed, sitting back down and leaning against Henry’s shoulder.
“Maybe a power stripping potion would be best?” Paige said suddenly.
Cole groaned. Not this again.
“No Paige, a decision has been made!” Henry told her sternly.
“But if we did, we wouldn’t have to worry about him becoming the Source!” Paige said again, excited about what she had just thought about.
Henry sighed.
“No” He said, and pulled his wife back down as she stood up to go somewhere.
“Oh, ok!” She said defeated, and then giggled as she again leant in for a kiss.
Cole decided he would go and find Phoebe. As he walked upstairs, he could hear Wyatt and Chris fighting over something, and Piper shouting at them to behave.
Cole again felt a pang of sadness that he would never go through that.
He shook his head. Get a grip Cole, you petitioned for it. He thought to himself.
As he walked up to the spare room and glanced in, he caught of glimpse of Phoebe.
He walked towards the door a little more, and noticed that she was brushing her hair.
Cole stood there mesmerised by her for a couple minutes until he saw Coop arrive.
“Phoebe, have you done it yet?” He asked her.
Phoebe slammed her brush down on the dressing table and turned around to look at Coop properly.
“No I haven’t, and please stop rushing me!” Phoebe exclaimed as she stood up and walked to Coop.
“I just want him out of our lives Phoebe!” Coop said as he sat on the bed.
Cole stared at Coop. There was something different about him, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
“Coop! I cannot rush this. Once I kill Cole, its like Iv killed a part of myself, and I’m not ready to do it right away!” Phoebe campaigned as she walked around the room to Coop.
“Please understand that!” She said as she bent down to kiss Coop.
Cole felt his heart break a little bit more.
“You heard him Phoebe, he wants out as much as the rest of us!” Coop said again, pushing Phoebe away.
Cole narrowed his eyes. What is his problem? He thought to himself.
“What is your problem Coop?” Phoebe asked. Cole looked at Phoebe smiling. She had often spoken what he had been thinking. He had put it down to the connection that the pair had.
“I don’t have a problem Phoebe, I just want to be with you without that useless demon on our case all the time!”
“That useless demon, as you put it, happens to be the man that I loved, and still love a little bit, for a very long part of my life!” Phoebe snapped at Coop.
“Besides, he is a very clever demon…” Phoebe left trailing.
Cole felt himself feel proud of what she had just said to him, though he knew he shouldn’t.
Coop opened his mouth as if to say something, but changed his mind at the last minute.
Wise choice buddy, Cole thought to himself.
“When you going to kill him then?” Coop asked.
Cole again looked disgusted.
“Why do you want me to do it so desperately, Im here with you now aren’t I?” Phoebe asked.
“Why are you putting it off?” Coop asked back.
Phoebe walked up to Coop and took his hand.
Suddenly she gasped, and fell into a trance.
“Oh cripes.” Cole said out loud. He looked around quickly, and realised that no one had heard him.
When he looked around Phoebe came out of her premonition. She looked over to the door quickly. Cole moved out of the way, hoping that she hadn’t seen him.
“GO!” He heard her scream to Coop.
“Phoebe?! What’s up?” Coop asked back, convincingly shocked.
“JUST GO!! And don’t come near me!” Phoebe shouted again.
He heard Coop leave, and heard Phoebe come rushing to the door.
“Cole!” She exclaimed.
Cole began to stutter and tried to come to a reason as to why he had been stood there but she grabbed him and pulled him into her room.
“Cole, Coop is possessed!” Phoebe told him.
“What? Phoebe don’t be ridiculous! The guy’s a Cupid!” Cole said back, in disbelief.
“PAIGE! PIPER!” Phoebe called.
Cole winced as her shrieks rebounded into his ears.
“Phoebe!” Piper was the first to arrive. She looked at Cole, and then to a panic stricken Phoebe.
“What’s happened?” She asked her sister, concerned.
“Phoebe!” Paige then greeted, who also gave Cole a quizzical look.
“Coop… Coop!” Phoebe started.
Cole took the cue.
“Phoebe had a premonition, and thinks that Coop, of all people, is the Source!” Cole informed the sisters.
He watched as their faces fell.
“No way!” Paige exclaimed. “Oh boy, you do pick them!”
“Shut up!” Phoebe screamed at Paige, who backed away quickly.
“Phoebe, tell us slowly! What happened in your premonition?” Piper reasoned, walking to her sister and forcing her down to the bed so that she didn’t faint and hurt herself.
“Coop, he’s possessed by the Source!” Phoebe said.
“I saw it all! I saw him making us kill Cole, and then him killing us!”

Omg sammi! What an excellent twist! I so did not see that coming!!!!! Brilliant update, I wonder if this will change things with the whole vanquishing cole? I love this fanfic sammi!! Please can u give me another update today?? Haha! Fantastic stuff girl

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

WHOA SAMMI! Like Alysha said, very nice twist. I was not expecting the source to possess Coop of all people. WOW!!!

That's insane girl. What are they going to do now. My goodness. Please update soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[*Sammi!*]

“Phoebe! Maybe you didn’t see correctly?” Piper said to her, not sounding too convinced by her own theory.
“Iv never been wrong about a premonition Piper!” Phoebe snapped at her sister.
“No Phoebe, I’m not saying that, what I’m saying is there must be some kind of explanation about it” Piper reasoned with her sister.
“Phoebe, if anyone were to be the Source it would be Cole!” Paige snapped.
The three sisters turned to look at Cole, who suddenly felt two inches tall.
“Cole…” Phoebe started, looking at him carefully.
“Yes…” He replied, knowing where this was headed, and knowing that they probably wouldn’t believe him.
“Cole if you know something, you have to tell us!” Phoebe begged running towards him and sitting next to him.
Cole recoiled as she reached for his hand, which made Phoebe snap her hand back in surprise.
“I don’t know anything. I killed Ramone, and I killed the Seer” Cole replied.
“Are you sure you killed Ramone? Its not the first time a demon has tricked us” Piper asked as she too walked forwards and sat on the other side of Cole.
Cole felt surrounded as Paige walked forwards.
“I haven’t done anything wrong!” Cole exclaimed defensively.
“Cole, calm down” Paige snapped. “We know how crafty demons can be when they want something”
“You were there! You saw him die!” Cole said again.
“Ok, what about the Seer?” Phoebe asked him.
“None of us were there for that” Paige said to him.
“It must be something to do with the Seer” Piper concluded.
“I doubt it” Cole said. “The Seer isn’t powerful enough to possess someone. She can manipulate, but definitely not possess”
“Well, whats happened in the meantime?” Paige said as she walked to the book of Shadows.
“Do you think that the Sources powers had been released, and found their way to Coop?” Phoebe asked Cole. He looked into her eyes, knowing that she was desperate for an excuse for Coop.
“Its possible” Cole replied.
“Why Coop?” Piper asked him. Cole felt under pressure from all the questions being fired at him.
“I don’t know, the Source is out for revenge on me, so maybe he thought getting to Coop would be a way of that” Cole explained to the sisters.
“By Coop though?” Phoebe sobbed. Cole looked at her again. She had her head in her hands sobbing her eyes out. Coles heart broke a little bit more, though he felt anger rising.
“Maybe he thought that by getting to you, he would get to Cole?” Paige reasoned.
“That must be it” Piper said, trying to comfort her sister.
“Coop wouldn’t hurt anyone!” Phoebe sobbed harder.
“We need to find Coop, and help him” Paige decided as she looked in the book for the Source’s vanquishing spell.
“We can’t vanquish the Source from Coop. It will destroy Coop too” Piper said to Paige.
“Oh yeah” Paige remembered, and then walked over to her sisters and Cole.
“Well, what about a power stripping spell?” Paige asked again.
Cole laughed sarcastically.
Paige and those stripping spells! He thought.
“And get rid of his other powers too? That’s hardly fair!” Phoebe said as she looked up.
Cole again felt jealous.
Why hadn’t they all acted like this when he was the Source? Phoebe cut herself off from Cole after that, and yet now she’s saying that something she had pressured him into, wouldn’t be fair to Coop.
Cole stood up.
“I think that’s a good idea!” He said to the sisters.
“Ofcourse you would” Paige spat at him.
“No, if we strip his powers, it’s a good chance that his Cupid powers may return to him!” Cole said ignoring Paige’s comment.
“No they wont! But we could use it on you too” Paige suggested.
It was Paige’s turn to have everyone look at her like a wacko.
“What?!” She exclaimed defensively.
“No” Cole replied defiantly.
“Why?” Piper asked. “It may be a way for you to be good again”
Phoebe laughed and Paige smirked.
“Cole can never be good” Phoebe said.
“Ouch, Phoebe!” Cole replied to her, hurt by her comment.
“Cole, we have tried this before. The best option for you is to either be truly evil, or die.” Phoebe continued.
“I don’t like my options too much” Cole tried to joke. It didn’t work.
“Its true Cole” Paige said to him. Cole looked at Piper who also nodded.
“Its probably for the best” Piper told him.
“You will always be susceptible to evil if you attempt to be good. Its just the way you are” Phoebe told her ex-husband.
“Well then, put me out of my misery. If I’m not alive, I don’t have to see you everyday.” Cole told Phoebe.
“Lets focus on Coop right now, then we can get back to you” Piper demanded as she walked to the Book of Shadows with Paige.
Cole looked around at the sisters.
He blinked away tears as he realised that he would never, ever be part of the circle of love again.
“Cole, I’m sorry” Phoebe told him, as she looked at him.
Cole shook his head and looked at the ceiling to try and fool himself into not crying, and shimmered to the apartment.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Dang Sammi. I'm glad they all are coming up with an idea. They are deciding to strip Cole's powers too. He doesn't seem to like the idea, but I hope he comes to accept his destiny and grows to like the idea.


I sure hope they can save Coop. I like him!!!


Update soon so I can find out.

[*Sammi!*]

A while later Paige orbed into the bedroom where Cole was lying, thinking about Phoebe.
“Cole, we need you” Paige told him.
“Why?” Cole asked sitting up.
“Well… Erm… Don’t go crazy, but…” Paige started. Seeing the worry in Paige’s face, he stood up and walked towards her.
“Paige…” He said, trying to lead the information out of her.
“Coop cannot be saved, we need you to help us” Paige said.
“Why do you need me? I cant do anything you can” Cole asked suspiciously.
“Ofcourse you can!” Paige exclaimed as she grabbed his hand and orbed him out.
They appeared in the Sources lair again.
Cole groaned.
“Why here?” He asked.
Paige looked at him, and her eyes flashed.
Cole heart skipped a beat.
“Paige?” He asked, cautiously.
“Yes?” She replied, darkly. She walked over to him.
“Paige, what’s going on?” He asked her again.
“I had to get you here somehow Belthazar” Paige replied.
Cole recoiled as Paige touched his arm. He felt a shock of electricity run through his body.
“Where’s Phoebe?” He asked straight away.
Paige laughed.
“Phoebe is with her sister, and the Cupid also. I needed some way to get you here.” Paige told him as she paced around.
“I don’t understand” Cole said.
“The sisters will soon realise that Im missing, when they come to look for me, they will have a choice. Until then…”
Paige shot a fireball at Cole, which struck him right in the chest.
Cole collapsed and felt himself being magically paralysed again.
“Enjoy yourself, Belthazar, it may be the last thing you do” Paige threw another fireball at him, which this time caught him on his side.
Cole shouted out in pain, and watched as Paige walked away cackling to herself.
Cole tried desperately to shimmer out, but every time he did, he got jolted with electricity, which made his injuries worse.
He sat there for what seemed like an eternity, falling in and out of consciousness from the pain of where the fireballs had struck him.
Finally he heard voices in the distance, and the occasional explosion.
He smiled realising that Piper was finally on her way, hopefully aided by Phoebe. He wanted to see her again before he died.
“Cole!” Phoebe exclaimed as she ran into the Lair and saw him slumped against the wall, and bleeding. She ran up to him and tried to touch him, but he recoiled and again felt the pain of the electric volt.
He looked at her face and saw tears pouring down it.
“Phoebe, Paige is here!” Piper said as she saw Phoebe stood there. As Piper saw Cole, she smiled, and then realised that he was hurt.
“Oh God, Cole!” Piper chipped in.
“Phoebe, lets help Paige” Piper said finally after spending a couple of seconds staring at Cole with her sister.
“There’s no need to help me, I’m not hurt” Paige said as she walked into the main part of the Lair.
Piper and Phoebe spun around to their sister.
“Paige! Thank God!” Phoebe sighed as she walked forwards.
Cole watched as Phoebe got flown across the room. He tried to move again, and found that this time, he could, and didn’t get struck by electricity.
“Paige!” Piper shouted at her sister in fury. “So not cool!”
It was Pipers turn to be thrown by the side of Phoebe as Paige sent an energy ball flying her way.
“Paige! What is going on?!” Phoebe asked, shocked at her sister for behaving this way.
Cole managed to stand up, and weakly he walked to Piper and Phoebe.
Phoebe held his hand as he struggled to stay stood up.
“It isn’t Paige.” He told the girls.
“What do you mean? Of course its Paige!” Piper exclaimed dodging another energy ball being sent her way.
“PAIGE!” Piper shouted.
“Cole, what’s happened to her?” Phoebe asked Cole, sounding very frightened.
“I believe, that the Source’s essence, that possessed Coop, to try and fool you” He started informing Phoebe “Is what is possessing Paige now” He finished as he swung round.
“You’re not wrong Belthazar” Paige praised as she walked closer to them.
“I do admire your restraint at not morphing into your demonic state yet”
“Paige, this isn’t you! Fight it” Phoebe explained to her sister.
“Shush witch!” Came the reply, as once again she launched an energy ball at Phoebe.
“I am going to make you a deal, Belthazar” Paige said as she walked in Cole’s direction.
“Take in my essence, and become the Source, or I kill this little witch. Then that one” Paige said talking about herself, and then pointing at Piper.
“And then, finally that one, before I kill you” Also pointing at Phoebe, and turning to look at Cole again.
“Don’t do it Cole!” Phoebe demanded as she looked at the man who was once her loving husband.
“Phoebe, he cant kill you! He cant kill your sisters!”
“You cannot be the Source Cole!” Phoebe said as she pulled back on his arm.
Cole shrugged her off and walked unsteadily towards Paige.
“Do it” Cole demanded

[~.:Alysha:.~]

OMG!! What a predicament Cole is in!! The twists keep coming and they keep getting better and better! My oh my Sammi! He might as well become the Source again he hasn't got anything else to live for! Phoebe has made it clear that she doesn't want him back and that Coop is the one for her, so I doubt that he can persuade her otherwise! He's always best when he is Evil anyway and that way they can just vanquish him instead of vanquishing their sister, that is what they were going to do anyway, so they might as well hit two birds with one stone! I'm going to do Mark Holden style from Australian Idol and say......TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[*Sammi!*]

“Cole no!” Phoebe cried.
“I need to save Paige, and I need to save you and Piper!” Cole exclaimed.
“Please!” Phoebe cried again, as she ran towards him, once again being thrown back by an energy ball from Paige.
“Phoebe! I need to do this. This is the one last thing that I can do to prove that I love you!” Cole explained to Phoebe as he turned round.
Phoebe climbed up and walked towards Cole again.
“Phoebe” Piper said as she pulled back on her sisters arm.
Cole stood infront of Paige and watched as her eyes flashed, and rolled back uncontrollably.
He reached forwards and took Paige’s hands in his.
“Now!” Paige shouted.
Cole was suddenly surrounded by swirling winds. He felt himself spinning round and round, as he looked into Paige’s eyes, seeing the torture she was going through in this process.
He braced as he felt a sudden surge of power in his veins, running through his body.
He felt Paige let go of his hands as she collapsed to the floor from exhaustion.
Cole stumbled back a couple steps and waited as he felt the powers of the Source curse through his body, every centimetre shooting an electric volt through him.
He opened his eyes and looked around the room, noticing he was no longer in any kind of wind cyclone.
Paige had clambered up and had run across to her sisters, who was being shouted at by Piper, and noticed that Phoebe was staring at him.
“Cole?” She whispered, walking up to him and staring into his eyes.
“I’m still here a little bit Phoebe” Cole said as he too stared back at her.
“Oh my God, Cole!” Paige said as she joined Phoebe.
“Thank you so much!” Paige thanked him as she walked back to Piper, wanting to distance herself from any danger.
“You need to leave!” Cole demanded, coming across more vicious than he meant to.
“We cant leave you like this Cole!” Phoebe said, moving closer to him.
“You cant come closer Phoebe!” Cole said to her as he pushed her away, scared that he may hurt her.
“Go home, get a vanquishing sp-” Cole didn’t get chance to finish the instruction as the power of the Source played inside him and made him fall in pain.
“Cole!” Phoebe cried coming right up over him and helping him up.
“Phoebe, come back!” Piper said to her sister as she watched her with Cole.
“Go Phoebe!” Cole told her when he was back on his feet. “Ill stay here for as long as I can! Don’t be long!”
He watched as Phoebe leant up to him and kissed him.
For one second it was like the world didn’t exist again. He kissed her back, wishing that things could have been different, wishing that he could go back to last week and do it all again.
He pushed Phoebe away again, and felt a tear fall down his face as he watched Paige orb them away with sorrowful looks on their faces.
He took a couple minutes to find his bearings. The whole Lair seemed to be spinning as he brain struggled to cope with everything happening inside his body at the present time.
Cole looked down at himself and tutted as his eyes focused on his body.
There were two big bloody marks where Paige had thrown the fireballs at him.
“No point getting cleaned up” Cole muttered to himself. Ill only be killed soon enough anyways, he continued to think.
He walked round the Lair a couple times before hearing orbs from the other bit of the cave.
“Cole?” He heard someone shout.
Cole rushed back into where he had heard the voice call him.
It was the Charmed Ones.
His heart pounded as he knew what they had come to do.
The human part of him was dreading it, the Source side was telling him to fight. He felt like he was being torn in two.
He focused on Phoebe who was crying.
“Lets just get this over with shall we?” Piper said as she pulled the spell out of her pocket.
“Wait!” Phoebe said as Piper and Paige started to chant.
“Phoebe… We talked about this” Paige said as she watched her sister walk towards Cole again.
“Don’t come near me Phoebe!” Cole said in the Sources voice. Phoebe ignored him and continued to walk towards him.
She leant up, and kissed him.
“Ill always love you. Thank you for saving our lives” She whispered in his ear.
Cole hugged her and held her tightly.
She let go of him and walked back to her sisters.
The Source was screaming out to him in his head to kill them, and shooting electricity right through his body.
“Prudence, Patricia, Penelope” Paige started, Cole felt the winds kick up again as he looked at the sisters
“Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace” Piper continued as the winds got faster and faster around him. He stared at Phoebe who was next to say the rest of the spell. Her face was panicked and her eyes were red from were she’d been crying over Cole. “Halliwell witches stand strong beside us” Phoebe said as she looked Cole right in the eyes and continued to stare at him as they all chanted.
“Vanquish this evil from time and space”
Cole screamed out in pain as he felt the Source and Belthazar being ripped from him.
He was spinning faster and faster round and round and felt like he was about to pass out.
He dropped to the floor.
“Oh my God” He heard Paige say.
“This cant be happening again” Piper said.
“Do you have that potion?” Paige asked.
“Is he alive?” He heard Phoebe ask.
Cole grunted to let them know that he was and that he could hear them talking.
“Piper, throw the potion!” Paige urged.
“No!” Phoebe exclaimed.
“Phoebe, we cant continue with him alive. You made that perfectly clear” Paige said.
“Phoebs, we have given him too many chances.” Piper reasoned with her sister.
Cole tried to sit up but he was in too much pain.
The injuries from the fireballs and the force of losing the Source and Belthazar had really taken its toll on him.
“Just look at him!” Phoebe petitioned as she campaigned for Cole’s life.
“Please, just kill me!” Cole begged as he attempted to sit up again.
“If you wish” Paige said, snatching the potion vial off Piper.
“Paige!” Phoebe said as Paige threw it.
Piper froze it as it reached a millimetre from Cole’s nose.
Cole rolled his eyes.
“Please don’t make me prolong this!” Paige said as she reached for the potion.
Cole stood up, and tried to shimmer out, then realising he couldn’t shimmer, sighed.
“Im begging you” Cole said to the sisters.
“No.” Phoebe reaffirmed.
“So what do you expect to happen Phoebe? You can’t have Coop and Cole!” Paige asked her sister.
“Well, cant we just send him back, and then he can have his old job?” Phoebe asked.
Paige looked at Piper, who looked at Phoebe, who looked at Cole, who was looking at Piper.
“Cole, what do you think?” Piper asked him.
“I think…” Cole started to answer, but he collapsed and fell unconscious.

[*Sammi!*]

January 19th 2009

“Happy Birthday!” Everyone called out as Cole entered the sunroom in the Manor.
It had been 7 months since everything had kicked off again.
And now it seemed as though everything had clicked into place for Cole.
He looked around, genuinely surprised at the effort that had been put into his birthday party, considering most the family had a lot to bear against him.
Cole looked at Phoebe who was walking towards him with a birthday cake. He smiled at her as she placed it on the table.
“Make a wish!” She gushed as Cole bent over and blew out the candles.
He wished that he could have Phoebe back, though he knew that this wasn’t going to happen.
“What did you wish for Cole?” Paige asked as she came to the table with paper plates for the cake.
“Oh, that would be telling” Cole said mysteriously, staring transfixed at Phoebe as he said it.
“Who’s for birthday cake?” Phoebe asked.
“Me!” Wyatt jumped up as his aunt asked.
“Trust you!” Piper said as she laughed.
“Is Cole going to cut the cake?” Coop asked as he walked towards the table with a camera poised, ready to take a picture of the family.
“Yes, I will” Cole said as he smiled as picked up the knife to do so.
The family gathered around Cole as Coop put the camera on timer and dashed around the other side of the table with the rest of the family.
“Everyone say birthday cake!” Leo said as the camera was about to take the picture.
“Birthday cake!” They all cheered as the camera flashed. The family dispersed as Cole cut the cake and started dishing it out.
Wyatt and Chris looked over the moon at the size of the piece of cake they received, and ran off into the playroom to eat it.
“Be careful you two!” Piper called after them.
She then took a piece for herself and Leo, took her husbands hand and walked him into the living room.
“Oh! Me next!” Paige giggle as she walked to the table with Henry Junior in her arms bouncing him up and down as she did so.
“You did well, Cole” She said to him as she took a piece.
Cole smiled as he watched her walk away, giggling as she popped some chocolate cake on her sons nose and laughed as he tried to get it off.
Cole walked through to the sunroom where he sat down and stared at the family while he also enjoyed some birthday cake.
He had come a long way in the past seven months, more than he had ever done.
Ever since Belthazar and the Source had been vanquished, he had overcome the need to have power.
It had been a lot harder than anticipated, but he had gotten used to the fact that the Belthazar was now in the past. The fact that the girls no longer used magic that much also helped him through it.
They had been so understanding and supportive, Cole thought as he watched Piper and Phoebe talking.
Paige had been harder to conquer, and was still questioning him about his whereabouts every now and then, but she had come to accept that Cole was a part of the family, which Phoebe had made very clear when they had invited Cole to stay at the Manor.
“Hey everyone!” Coop greeted as he walked into the room.
“Happy birthday Cole!” Coop said happily as he walked over and shook Cole’s hand.
“Cheers” Cole replied.
He watched as Coop walked over to Phoebe and gave her a kiss.
Cole felt his stomach knot. This was something that he was still jealous about, and was still struggling to get used to.
He really loved Phoebe and hoped that one day she would see sense.
He sighed and continued to eat his cake as he resigned himself to the fact that Coop was Phoebe’s husband now, and he couldn’t change it.
He smiled as he looked around at everyone again, and found Phoebe smiling at him.
He loved Phoebe, he loved the family, and he loved being himself.
For the first time since things fell through with Phoebe, he was happy.

The End.

[~.:Alysha:.~]

Wow Sammi. I didn't see that coming at all when The Source possessed Paige. That was very clever. I'm glad Cole didn't die.

I was expecting you to put Cole with Phoebe, but I don't mind her being with Coop. I liked him. I like sweet guys. I'm glad everyone is happy. Even Cole. Excellent story Sammi. I've loved reading it.

[Esmeralda]

YAY, Sammi!! Congratulations for finishing this!! Now that it's also at ALTERNATE CHARMED, just as soon as I finish my replying here, reading and reviewing each chapter is next on Ye Olde To-Do List!
